There are no new Covid-19 community cases to report today and five border-related cases to report in managed isolation.

The new cases all arrived on flights from India, via the United Arab Emirates, and are in managed isolation/quarantine in Auckland.

This brings the seven-day rolling average of new cases detected at the border to three.

It comes after two new cases in managed isolation were announced on Wednesday.

Both arrived on separate flights from India, via the United Arab Emirates, on March 28 and 29 respectively.

Over the past week an average of four new cases at the border have been reported.

Ten people have recovered since Tuesday, meaning the total number of cases on Wednesday was 72 - all in managed isolation.

Today's results also come after Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins put on a brave face for the cameras when he received his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine in front of media Wednesday morning.

Swapping the usual suit jacket for a white "Unite against Covid-19" T-shirt, the minister gave a somewhat nervous laugh after being asked to roll up his sleeve.

"I'm not gonna watch...I'm gonna look this way," he said.

Asked by a reporter how he felt about needles, usually, he said: "I'm not a great fan - no."

But there was nothing to worry about when the nurse gave him his first jab; saying with a huge grin and laugh: "Didn't even feel it. There you go - see?"
